- Most of the texts are purposed to entertain the reader.

2. NON-LITERARY
- Tell about something or condition which is really happened, and sometimes supported with argument, or description. It doesn’t include any artistic part in the text.
- Use a formal language, in order to show intellectuality.
- Most of the texts are purposed to inform, or persuade the reader.
